    Pre-Laboratory Activity 1 The Compound Microscope Pre-Lab Questions

    Uploaded by

    Eduardo Repetillo
    Eduardo Repetillo completed a pre-laboratory activity on the compound microscope. He discussed that microscopes are important forensic tools for examining trace evidence like paint, documents, and impressions. He labeled the major parts of a microscope, including the revolving nosepiece, objective lens, stage clips, and eyepiece. Repetillo also explained that microscopes have two types of diaphragms - the field diaphragm controls the illuminated field size while the condenser diaphragm controls the amount of light entering the lens system.

    Pre-Lab Questions
    1. What is the importance of microscopes in Forensic Chemistry?
    The importance of microscopes in Forensic Chemistry is maintaining the
    prominent position as an important tool for examination of trace amounts of evidence.
    The microscope is used by forensic scientists to locate, isolate, identify, and compare
    samples. Because of its low magnification, wide field of view, large working distance,
    and stereoscopic vision, the stereomicroscope is used for preliminary evidence
    evaluations. It also allows for comparative examinations for evidence such as paint,
    physical matches, questioned documents, and impression evidence and can also be
    used to identify and compare forensic samples.
    2. Label the part of a Microscope.

    1. Revolving Nosepiece 5. Light Source 9.Coarse Adjustment

    2. Objective Lens 6. Eyepiece 10. Stage Control


    3. Stage Clips 7. Arm 11. Base
    4. Diaphragm 8. Mechanical Stage

    3.What are the two types of diaphragm used as a part of a microscope?

    Two basic of diaphragm are utilized in a microscope: The Field Diaphragm


    Control - The base of the microscope contains the field diaphragm. This controls the size
    of the illuminated field. The field diaphragm control is located around the lens located in
    the base. And the Condenser Diaphragm- This diaphragm controls the amount of light
    entering the lens system. This feature is useful for viewing unstained biological
    specimens that are translucent. Reducing the amount of light improves contrast, making
    the specimen "stand out" against the background.
